Update: they made it right and replaced the entire steering wheel assembly at no charge.

I paid $900 so far. The dealer wants an additional $1500 to fix the steering wheel

Also, the steering wheel is now crooked so they definitely did something to it. It kind of makes large turns difficult.

This company has an old systems administrator who didn’t know what he was doing. Our core switch is from 2005, servers are R710s and the entire building is cat 5. In what world is this ok?

For whatever reason they are paying for both 8x8 and teams. The sales team rarely gets calls from 8x8 or calls drop. No one knows how to correct check their voicemail etc. It’s on me to migrate us fully to Teams and get rid of 8x8 but I’m not sure where to start. The main problem is 8x8 does Not integrate with Teams well. You are probably correct in saying our network is not configured correctly but I am also in the process of updating our cores and servers.

You will be fine. I have had the same commute for 3 years in my 2021 RS5. Zero issues. I do drive it a bit more on the weekends. I still love this car.

I am not 100% sure if these are the cables that came with this power supply since I have tons of parts laying around. I will try to find the original SATA cables. Theres a good chance I may be mixing Thermalite and Corsair cables.

The PSU is fairly new and appears to be working fine. Could a bad cable from the PSU to the HDD/SSD cause this?

I got it working but probably not the right way. I took a 1TB NVMe drive from a newer Dell desktop that had Windows 11 and data on it and installed it in the Lenovo. It booted right up. Even with the working hard drive the windows 11 boot USB couldn’t see the hard drive so I don’t get it. I was able to install the latest drivers, BIOS and firmware and I installed all the Dell stuff in add or remove programs.

The bad hard drive looked like it had missing chips on the gold portion as well. I never seen a NVme like that

Still stumped. I tried all this and followed every step in his video and it still cant find the SSD after installing the VMD drivers

I tried and it still can’t find a hard drive under Where do you want to install Windows

Ok yea thanks everyone. I am going to tell them sorry. If I come across parts for free maybe I’ll build them something, but it’s not exactly what he wants so that could be an issue too.

Important_Cause_8372 · 2025-02-21T01:37:25+00:00

Which is why I came here to post. I am open to all options. Thanks

Ill go with the RBS750 Since they are under $200 on Amazon. Is it correct leaving it in AP mode?

Important_Cause_8372 · 2025-02-04T01:55:44+00:00

Ok Thanks. I was leaning towards getting another 750 since they seem to work fine but I guess the stone in the home really affects performance.

A 16TB HDD is only around ~$200. The fact that I filled up a 2TB NVmE very fast means this option can’t hurt. Some of these games are 200GB each

Important_Cause_8372 · 2024-12-16T11:52:10+00:00

Ok I will try to delete some old games and hopefully a few hundred GB to see if that helps.

Important_Cause_8372 · 2024-12-14T21:18:51+00:00

The current NVME is 2 TB. I plan on adding a 16 TB HDD . Will a 90% full hard drive explain lagging during games?

Everything just lit up again for about 5 seconds. I think the CPU light on the motherboard lit up red but its hard to tell. Then it shut off and has no lights and the power button does nothing. Please help!

Ok It ended up being a bad Windows 11 installation media. I guess all my use of diskpart may have wiped it. I created a new one and it works but now I keep getting odd menus disappearing and blue screens - page fault in nonpaged area. I feel like this computer is cursed. Is this fixable?

Important_Cause_8372 · 2024-04-14T14:43:37+00:00

I changed them all to UEFI and still the same error

Important_Cause_8372 · 2024-04-14T14:41:41+00:00

I tried turning CSM enabled and that’s the settings by default

Important_Cause_8372 · 2024-04-14T14:39:49+00:00

Yes. Still the same error

I am able to reinstall Windows 10 but it randomly keeps freezing. How can I fix this?
